I agree with all that has been said with one addition. I think that the company that makes the best product is the one that supports you at after sales. It shows they have pride in the product they sell and place a value on the customer that chose them.. I have own both
Celestron and Meade products and have had problems with them both.. However the effort required to get assistance with Meade products is like winning the x lotto. Celestron has a really great support network and one that is based here in Australia. Meade however is Very Very poor indeed. No local distributor here in Australia only dealers. Some should not be in the Telescope game at all. Phone two interstate last week for the purchase of an item, and never got a call back.. I have been trying for 5 months to get an RA number for a warranty repair from Meade USA that came 4 days ago.. When I had a problem with my Skyscout from Celestron, I was able to contact the Distributor in NSW who was most helpfull. Took less than a week to sort out...
I own a 10 LX200 and am happy with it. I would not Not purchase a Meade untill they improve their International support.. Both great product Brands, but one is purly better Value for money and value your money..
Time to take a breath. Venting
Cheers
